Well, I started a blog a while back during our engagement (that was supposed to lead throughout our blissful journey of marriage). That didn't last too long, unfortunately (the blog, not the marriage--it's going just fine). I'm going to give it another shot now that we have someone else joining our family. I hope that this blog will be something my son/daughter will be able to look back on later in life and enjoy!
I am currently 10 weeks pregnant and am due January 9, 2011. I have been VERY lucky in regards to common symptoms: no vomiting (yet--always have to say yet)! I have been quite tired (more so during the first 8 weeks) and my 'yucky feeling' usually comes around 4-6pm each day. But it usually passes after dinner time. So far I have been enjoying thinking about names and reading some baby books and magazines (some for info and some for fun). I have even been given some baby gifts already, which was quite a treat (thanks Jen, Kathy, and Gary).
I think one of the BEST parts of the pregnancy has been telling my family, especially my parents. Boy did their eyes light up (then tear up) at the news of a grandbaby. I've always heard that having a grandchild is so exciting, but it was quite amazing to experience it with my own parents. I'm just so excited for them and can't wait to see them hold that sweet baby for the first time! Lots of fun is ahead for Edee and Pop.
Tomorrow is my next doctor's appointment and the nerves are settling in. I don't know why, but you just worry a little that 'something' may be wrong. I guess it's just the common worry that will accompany being a parent forever. (And all of the brochures that they give you on birth defects isn't that calming, either!)
More updates to come....
congrats again! so excited for y'all! I remember being nervous at the first several appts.- at first i was like, am i still really pregnant? what am i doing here? and also worried about all the little things than can happen. glad you're feeling pretty well. i never threw up once with either pregnancy but wanted to for most of the first trimester! i want to visit Em sometime this summer- haven't seen the new baby yet, but i know her surgery is next week. maybe sometime in july before you go back to school we an all get together, either in macon, or if she's not up to, we can go all the way to b'ville. have a great summer!
